Sandy Paton alluded to this in another thread, but I'll mention it here. Joe Hickerson researched different versions of "Our Goodman" for his Ph.D. dissertation at Indiana University, which he never completed, probably because he kept finding new versions. His research documentation filled at least two file-cabinet drawers. At last count, he'd found at least 350 (Sandy thinks more than 400) distinct versions and was still hearing about new ones. I'm meeting him for dinner tonight, and will print out this thread for him -- bet Joe Offer's French version will be new to him!
